My Dangerous Billionaire Husband - Chapter 701

Chapter 701: I Will Return The Money To You

Little Fifth was smiling at him.

Ou Luoxi looked at the small smile on Little Fifth’s face and was a little stumped for a brief moment. This child resembled Xia Xiaofu very much, and even her smile was just like hers. She had a very pure and sweet smile as her eyes were curved up, and every time she smiled, it could soften anyone’s heart .

Ou Luoxi felt as if a feather brushed across his heart and made many ripples appear.

It was not something that he could control. He stealthily stretched his right hand out and went to touch Little Fifth’s small, smooth, powdery face.

But he had yet to touch her when Little Fifth gurgled out in laughter, “Hehe!” She stretched her small cute right hand and firmly held Ou Luoxi’s index finger.

Little Fifth started to babble again. She was happy and could not stop making noises on the bed.

The small baby’s hand was extremely soft, and after he got closer to her, he had a whiff of the sweet milky scent that on her body. Even her small clothes were soaked in a clean floral scent. He was very familiar with this scent. It was extremely familiar; it was the scent of the woman.

Ou Luoxi’s immediately heart became soft. His heart was extremely soft, and he looked at Little Fifth as he slowly curled the corners of his lips up.

As the father and daughter were together with one another — click — the bathroom door opened up, and Xia Xiaofu walked out.

Ou Luoxi quickly took his index finger back, then took a few steps back, and he turned his gaze towards Xia Xiaofu.

Xia Xiaofu was in a slight daze as she came out. When she had a clear look at Ou Luoxi, she shook for a bit, but she regained her composure very quickly. She walked over to Little Fifth’s side.

Little Fifth had long known that Mummy was here. She flipped from one side of the bed to the other before opening her arms out to ask Mummy for a hug.

Xia Xiaofu’s voice was very hoarse, but her voice was still very gentle and Motherly. She sat down on the bed as she embraced Little Fifth, “Do you miss Mummy already?”

Little Fifth used both of her small hands to tug onto Mummy’s collar that was right in front of her, and her small head was nudging against Mummy’s chest.

Xia Xiaofu’s small pale face had a smile on it as she said, “Little gal, are you hungry?”

She turned around and stretched her hand out to undo the top two buttons on her shirt before feeding Little Fifth. The mustard yellow blanket fell onto the bed, and she pulled it over to hide half of herself as she hugged Little Fifth.

Her small, fair hand patted Little Fifth’s back, and she was humming a tune.

Ou Luoxi stood behind and looked at the small woman seated on the hospital bed in front of him. Her long, wet hair landed on her shoulders. She wore a loose hospital gown, and his gaze went over from her back. He repeatedly looked at the curves that were subtly visible through the hospital gown…

Although he could not have a clear look, it still made his breathing hurried as usual.

Ou Luoxi straightened his waist up and swallowed his saliva. All he could hear in his ears was the tune that she was humming out. It was so sweet that it was cloying. In the past, he had never heard her sing like that. When she was together with him, she would be the one who took the initiative and was the bright one. She would hug his neck as she told him sweet nothings. At night, she was just like a bout of fire, and she was about to engulf him in her flames.

Ou Luoxi lowered his gaze to look at his pants, and he softly cursed inside his heart.

She did not do anything at all, but he had a reaction.

Ou Luoxi turned around and walked out of the hospital ward.

…

He was in the corridor. Ou Luoxi leaned against the wall, and he took a deep breath of air before softly closing his eyes.

“Young Master.” Ah Li walked over.

Ou Luoxi slowly removed his right hand from his pocket before he said, “Have this tested.”

Ah Li had a look. There were two strands of hair in Ou Luoxi’s hand.

There was one soft strand and one black one. Ah Li did not have to guess to know that it was his and Little Fifth’s.

Ah Li took the strands of hair before placing them into a Ziploc bag. He hesitated for a moment, then he said, “Young Master, do you suspect that Mrs. Ou’s child…is yours?”

Ou Luoxi opened his eyes, and lowered his gaze towards the old tiles beneath his feet. The tiles were badly used, an apt metaphor for the things that happened in the past that he did not want to look back on.

Over the past year, he rarely thought about the past, and he did not remember much.

Because every time he did so, he would be in so much pain that he could not breathe.

“Yeah, I am not sure… We did it once. It was only one time. At that time.. it was very hard for me to even see her once…” Ou Luoxi had a bitter and mocking smile on his face.

At that time, he was cooking in the house and spent all of his effort to take care of her parents. She was interacting closely with Ou Ze, and there was even one time he saw Ou Ze coming out of her room. There were used condoms in the trash. He did not dare to ask about it, and he was afraid that after he asked, the two of them would end up in the dead end.

That night, he was very happy. He had a taste of happiness with her that he had not ever had before. He was willing to go back home to feed blood to her father. He always hoped for a day when the Xia Corporation would become better, and she could end it all with Ou Ze before coming back to his side.

He had been always waiting for her.

But…

Ah Li was taken aback. He was shocked by the sentence — It was very hard for me to even see her. Ah Li could not imagine how pathetic this man that was standing in front of him right now was back in the past.

“Young Master, there are so many fish in the sea. There are plenty of beautiful women in this world. As long as you want them now, there are plenty of options available.” Ah Li had a smile on his face as he spoke.

Ou Luoxi looked at Ah Li, before stretching his hand out to pat Ah Li’s shoulder. He turned around and said, “Let’s go. Let’s go back now.”

“Yes, Young Master.” Ah Li trailed behind him.

…

Little Fifth recovered from her illness. Xia Xiaofu’s mother was also discharged from the hotel. Xia Xiaofu let out a sigh of relief. She looked at her mother and daughter and felt satisfied. In the future, as long as she successfully divorced Ou Ze, the three of them could live together happily, and she did not wish for anything more.

Ou Luoxi was doing so well right now. There was Miss Gong Ling by his side also. She did not think about him anymore. Everything would be fine as long as he was fine.

That day, a helper ran upstairs and said, “Young Mistress, Young Master called just now. He said that there is an auction that he needs you to attend with him.”

“Auction? I am not going.” Xia Xiaofu rejected the idea immediately.

“Young Mistress, Young Master said that you have to go. The driver is already waiting downstairs. Young Master asks that you not be late.”

Xia Xiaofu knew that Ou Ze was threatening her, and now, it did not do her any good to fight Ou Ze so openly, so Xia Xiaofu stood up and went downstairs.

The car drove over to the city centre. The driver said, “Young Mistress, there are many shops here, Young Master asked you to go inside to pick an outfit and not to embarrass him.”

These types of auctions would be attended by the rich and powerful. Their clothing was also important. She did not have any clothes prepared at home, so she had to buy an outfit now.

Xia Xiaofu had no other choice but to go to a department store.

“Miss, how are you? What kind of clothes are you looking for?” The salesperson was passionate as she welcomed Xia Xiaofu.

“I will have a look first.” Xia Xiaofu had a casual look.

At this moment, a clear and crisp voice rang out in her ears. “Older Brother Gong Ming, does this dress look good on me?”

Older Brother Gong Ming?

Xia Xiaofu froze and turned around to have a look.

Ou Luoxi stood at one side of the store, and he turned his body to the side as he leaned against the hangers. He put his left hand in his pocket and used his right hand to flip through a magazine. He wore a red leather jacket today, and he matched it with a white shirt underneath together with a scarf. This type of burgundy red made him look like a piece of refined jade. His body was handsome and tall as he stood there, and he had a mighty aura to him that was clean and pure.

Gong Ling just came out of the changing room. She wore a long green v-neck dress, and she had a cheeky expression on her face.

Xia Xiaofu did not expect to meet them here so coincidentally, and she froze.

Ou Luoxi heard the noise and raised his head up. He had a glance at Gong Ling before lowering his gaze towards Xia Xiaofu.

Gong Ling followed Ou Luoxi’s gaze and said, “Mrs. Ou, this is such a coincidence. Why are you here too?”

Xia Xiaofu tugged on the corners of her lips as she said, “I…am going to an auction, so I came here to find some clothes.”

“Auction? Mrs. Ou, we are also going to the auction. This is really such a coincidence. Where is President Ou? Did he not come here with you?”

“No, he is in the office. He’ll head directly to the auction later.”

“How boring it must be for a woman to be shopping for clothes alone.” Gong Ling ran over to hug Ou Luoxi’s arm before donning a sweet smile as he said, “My Older Brother Gong Ming is simply the best.”

Xia Xiaofu did not have any other choice but to look at Ou Luoxi. What they’d said in the hospital that night made her feel awkward and uncomfortable. She nodded her head as she said, “Young Master Gong Ming, how are you?”

Ou Luoxi’s gaze flicked for a moment before he also nodded his head, and he looked cold and chic.

Xia Xiaofu turned her head over to the side and did not look over at them again.

At this moment, the salesperson walked over and said, “Miss, actually, the long dress that Miss Gong Ling is wearing is also very suitable for you. Do you want me to find a piece for you to try on?”

“That’s right, Mrs. Ou, this long dress is very pretty.” Gong Ling whirled around the spot a few times.

Xia Xiaofu looked at Gong Ling. Gong Ling had a slim and petite figure. She had the bone structure of a young girl. She looked very pretty and flowy as she wore this long dress, but this long dress did not suit Xia Xiaofu.

After all, she’d just given birth to Little Fifth. Although she was not fat, compared to her figure back in the past, she’s gained some weight.

Xia Xiaofu shook her head and said, “No thanks, I am probably unable to fit into this long dress.”

“Mrs. Ou, you have a great figure. I am so jealous of you. Older Brother Gong Ming, do you agree?” Gong Ling had a bright smile on her face as she spoke.

Xia Xiaofu looked over at Ou Luoxi. Ou Luoxi was also looking over at her. His clear gaze seemed to scan her body for a moment before it was fixed on her small face.

Xia Xiaofu was put in a weird spot. She was no longer that youthful girl who was bright and attractive. Compared to Gong Ling, she seemed old now.

Her heart has become so much more depressed after this year.

Xia Xiaofu turned her gaze over to the side, and she had a look at the clothing rack before pointing at a cheongsam and saying, “Help me to wrap this up then.”

The cheongsam was retro styled. It was dark blue in colour adorned with plum flowers. The colour of the cheongsam was not bright, but it was very long. There was a slit in the thigh, and it had the classic charm of the cheongsam.

The salesperson took a new piece in Xia Xiaofu’s size before she said. “Miss, do you want to try it on? This type of cheongsam has to be fitting.”

“There is no need.”

The salesperson did not persist. She wrapped the clothes up before walking over to the counter.

Xia Xiaofu went over to the cashier to pay and said, “How much is this?”

“The total would be sixty eight thousand dollars.”

Xia Xiaofu’s small hand that was taking her wallet out froze for a moment. What? It was so expensive…

She did not bring so much cash out. When they got married, Ou Ze gave her a card, and she did not use it for the entire time. The money that she spent was from her own savings, but she’d come out in a hurry today and forgot to bring the card out.

Xia Xiaofu felt a little awkward. Even though she did not turn around, she could feel that Ou Luoxi and Gong Ling behind her were looking in her direction.

She always embarrassed herself.

“Miss…” At this moment, the salesperson called her.

Xia Xiaofu wanted to speak, and at this moment, a pure voice rang out from behind her. He said, “Just record it in my name.”

“Yes, Sir.” The salesperson nodded her head.

This made Xia Xiaofu feel even more awkward, but to prevent things from becoming even worse, she turned around, looked at Ou Luoxi, and said, “Young Master Gong Ming, thank you. I will return the money to you.”

“Mrs. Ou, everyone is family here. Older Brother Gong Ming is your younger brother-in-law, and this amount of money is not much. Let’s not talk about money; it hurts relations.” Gong Ling had a smile on her face as she spoke.

Xia Xiaofu did not say anything more. She nodded her head towards both of them before walking away.

…

Xia Xiaofu got out of the car and went into a five star hotel. Ou Ze was waiting for her in the main lobby. He saw Xia Xiaofu and stretched his hand out immediately to grab Xia Xiaofu’s shoulder as he said, “Xiaofu, you are here.”

Under the surface, Xia Xiaofu hated him touching her. She struggled for a few moments but was still unable to break away, so she had no other choice but to give in. She said, “Isn’t it an auction? Why would we be in a hotel?”

“The auction has been pushed back to 11 at night. At 6 in the evening, go to the casino in the hotel with me. I have to meet some clients.”

“Can I say no?”

Ou Ze used squeezed Xia Xiaofu’s shoulders with some force. He had a sinister smile on his face as he said, “What do you think?”

As he spoke, he bent down by her ear as he softly said, “The business meeting that I have at night is very important. You’d better perform well.”

Xia Xiaofu stretched her hand out to push him away as she said, “You’d better get lost!”

“Haha.” Ou Ze suddenly started laughing before cupping her shoulder as he took two steps forward. He replied, “Luoxi, Miss Gong Ling, you two are here?”

Xia Xiaofu raised her gaze up to have a look, and Ou Luoxi and Gong Ling were really here.

Xia Xiaofu did not want to break away from Ou Ze anymore. This person must have hugged her on purpose after seeing Ou Luoxi, and he tried to pretend that they were very close with one another.

Ou Ze had long been a pervert. He liked to torture her even more in front of Ou Luoxi, and at the same time, he also used her to provoke Ou Luoxi.

Xia Xiaofu became quiet and did not struggle anymore.

Ou Luoxi had a look at Xia Xiaofu, who was obediently nestled in Ou Ze’s embrace, before smiling as he said, “Older Brother.”

“Luoxi, it is a rare opportunity for us to meet. Let’s gamble a bit at the tables today.”

“Sure.” Ou Luoxi nodded his head.

“Then I will bring your older sister-in-law back to the room. We will meet up at night.” Ou Ze brought Xia Xiaofu away with him.

…

After going into the hotel room, Xia Xiaofu thought that she had to deal with Ou Ze’s various forms of torture, but the moment Ou Ze went back to the room, he took his phone and sent a message before caling someone, and there was a very serious expression on his face.

Xia Xiaofu found it very weird. Could Ou Ze really have some important business meeting today?

But wasnt the auction being held tonight?

Ou Ze left the room very quickly. Xia Xiaofu was overjoyed and relaxed. She locked the room from the inside before putting on the cheongsam. She sat down before the vanity counter, grabbed a brush, and brushed her hair.

She had not dolled herself for a very long time. She always looked petite and frail. She stretched her hand out to touch her long hair. It was very smooth, and her curls were naturally beautiful.

Xia Xiaofu had a look at herself in the mirror. Her exquisite features were sad and depressed. Actually, she was only 27 years old — not old yet.

Xia Xiaofu felt a little better. She stretched her hand out to braid her hair before putting her hair up. There were cosmetics on the vanity table, and she used some powder before putting some lipstick on her lips.

After dolling herself up simply, Xia Xiaofu was extremely satisfied. She stood up and opened the door.

Upon walking out of the room, she heard someone in the corridor. It was Gong Ling, and she was together with an unfamiliar man —

The man tried to pull Gong Ling’s small hand as he said, “Young Miss, why do you have to like Gong Ming? What is good about him? To be honest, he is still an outsider. He might have other intentions, and he barely acknowledges you.”
